Computer acting weird

Recently, my computer has taken to opening applications that I did not start myself, such as Teamspeak Calculator, and document folders, such as My Pictures. It is also typing letters that I'm not typing, although this is a minor issue, and I can live with it, as it only occurs every hour or so, and even then, it's usually just a letter such as "u,i or m" that is typed.
Lastly, and this usually occurs when I am playing a game, my computer will go back to the windows login screen, or it will go into standbymode.
As I was typing that last sentence, the computer pressed the F7 button.
I'm running an AVG check, but I don't think that's it. If anything, it may be the fact that I recently purchased a wireless mouse/keyboard, but I only use the mouse.
This started happening around a week ago, at least, that's when I noticed it happening.
Any ideas?

Yea, I did install the driver, however, I think I can only uninstall the wireless keyboard AND mouse, I don't think I can just uninstall one of them. I will attach a screenshot of what I see when I go through Add/Remove programs, and what I see when I navigate to the Wireless set through Start - All Programs

I'll just copy all of the details on the bottom of the mouse:

EDIT: I believe I may have got it working, I tried disabling the Keyboard driver, and so far, everything's been running fine.

Alright, I disabled the wireless keyboard driver, but I forgot to disable the mouse driver. Since the reboot, which was around 25 minutes ago, nothing has opened. I've unplugged the wireless mouse, and am using my normal mouse.
